A proprietary natural pigmenting process gives it vibrant pink and purple hues that will not bleach or fade, and the branching form is perfect for airy, elevated aquascapes and for mounting SPS colonies up in the light and flow. Like all Real Reef, it is greenhouse-grown, lightweight, extremely porous, and free of the pests and contaminants of wild live rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the rest of our \u003ca
